Primrose will appeal rezoning requirement

The Upper Arlington Board of Zoning and Planning will hear an appeal on June 18 from Primrose Schools, which is challenging a city ruling requiring a rezoning for a proposed day-care facility at 3462 Tremont Rd.

Primrose submitted plans in March to build a 12,000-square-foot building with 54 parking spaces on three parcels at the intersection with London Drive. The facility could employ 40 people and hold up to 204 students ranging in age from 6 weeks to 12 years.

Although the area is zoned for single-family residential use, certain types of day cares are permitted as a conditional use, and the city development department had certified Primrose’s conditional use application. However, the city attorney’s office determined the size and composition of the proposed Primrose School did not merit a conditional use application but instead required a full rezoning of the property.
